Javascript date format like ISO but local
how do I format a javascript date like ISO format, but in local time?
with myDate.toISOString() I am getting the time as: "2012-09-13T19:12:23.826Z"
but here, it is 22:13, so how do I include the timezone in above format?
I ended up doing...
pad=function(e,t,n){n=n||"0",t=t||2;while((""+e).length<t)e=n+e;return e}
c = new Date()
c.getFullYear()+"-"+pad(c.getMonth()+1)+"-"+pad(c.getDate()-5)+"T"+c.toLocaleTimeString().replace(/D/g,':')+"."+pad(c.getMilliseconds(),3)

AFAIK you can't format dates in javascript (without using external libraries). The best you could do is "format it yourself". I mean:
var date = new Date();
var year = date.getFullYear();
var month = date......
var ISOdate = year + "-" + month + "-" + .... ;
But there are some good libraries that will let you format dates! (read "format" as in library.getDate("YYYY-MM-DD.........");)
EDIT:
Moment.js seems the thing you're looking for: http://momentjs.com/

Yes, indeed. It's a lot of work, that's why I'd recommend using Moment.js or some other library.

No library required! For some Date object, e.g. t = new Date()
convert the local time zone offset from minutes to milliseconds
z = t.getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000
subtract the offset from t
tLocal = t-z
create shifted Date object
tLocal = new Date(tLocal)
convert to ISO format string
iso = tLocal.toISOString()
drop the milliseconds and zone
iso = iso.slice(0, 19)
replace the ugly 'T' with a space
iso = iso.replace('T', ' ')
Result is a nice ISO-ish format date-time string like "2018-08-01 22:45:50" in the local time zone.

I went with what Denis Howe said, below as a ready made function for convenience.
Also one fix: in the original answer t-z does not work because t is a Date, not milliseconds.
function dateToISOLikeButLocal(date) {
const offsetMs = date.getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000;
const msLocal = date.getTime() - offsetMs;
const dateLocal = new Date(msLocal);
const iso = dateLocal.toISOString();
const isoLocal = iso.slice(0, 19);
return isoLocal;
}
With this I get the kind of string that needed as a URL parameter:
"2018-11-16T12:23:50"

convert the local time zone offset from minutes to milliseconds
z = t.getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000
subtract the offset from t
tLocal = t-z

tLocal = new Date(tLocal)
convert to ISO format string
iso = tLocal.toISOString()
drop the milliseconds and zone
iso = iso.slice(0, 19)
replace the ugly 'T' with a space

I went with what Denis Howe said, below as a ready made function for convenience.
Also one fix: in the original answer t-z does not work because t is a Date, not milliseconds.
function dateToISOLikeButLocal(date) {
const offsetMs = date.getTimezoneOffset() * 60 * 1000;
const msLocal = date.getTime() - offsetMs;
const dateLocal = new Date(msLocal);
const iso = dateLocal.toISOString();
const isoLocal = iso.slice(0, 19);
return isoLocal;
}
With this I get the kind of string that needed as a URL parameter:
"2018-11-16T12:23:50"
